I have recwntly put together a K8S clyster out of old and bargain basement hardware for hosting personal projects. Equivalent perf. from big cloud would cost me $ 400++
Similar situation here but on a bandwidth level. A 1Gbps leased line costs me ~400 bucks a month and is unmetered even if I keep it saturated for the entire month. I don’t even want to imagine the cost of that on a cloud provider.
